Sinead O'Connor has announced on her website that she has split with her husband for the second time.

The news comes after the Irish singer took to Twitter to ask followers to send in phone numbers of psychiatrists to her personal email account.

She felt she "desperately need to get back on meds today" and was "in serious danger".

She posted on her site: "Certain sections of our media are pure evil.

"These people, along with others caused enormous damage deliberately and maliciously to my innocent flower of a husband, purely because he was with me.

"The behaviour of one particular paper resulted in very serious damage to my husband and myself personally and consequently made the marriage untenable so that it is now over and I hope the media will kindly leave the poor man alone to get on with his life."

The star went on to say that she has no desire to be in a relationship again after her four failed marriages.

"I will never again associate myself romantically with anyone as I could not bear to see these things done again to someone I love."
